Welcome to Stony Creek Canine Academy & Dog Grooming! Some pages are currently under construction. We apologize for any inconvenience!!
Here at Stony Creek we offer dog training, ranging from Obedience, Agility & Conformation classes
as well as Dog Grooming. Our instructors have been trained in the fields that they teach and our groomer has been grooming
for almost 15 years. We also host many dog events during the spring & summer months and encourage spectators to come and
watch! Details are located on the Upcoming shows page. Many of the competitors are our very own students. Maybe you could
be competing with your pet someday! Stony Creek Canine Academy & Dog Grooming is a family
owned and operated business. The academy was opened in 2000 and the grooming shop was opened in December 2005. Our family
is centered around dogs. We raise English Shepherds & Leonbergers, and train and show them in Obedience, Agility &
Conformation. We have various activities during the year including normal obedience, agility training & conformation handling
classes, dog seminars, agility trials & conformation shows. Spectators are welcome to most of these events.
Obedience Classes Obedience classes are a good idea for all dogs regardless of breed, age or size. Some people
may know how to train their dogs to sit, down, etc. but obedience classes are also very good socialization for the dogs. Lack
of socialization can lead to separation anxiety and aggression towards other dogs and people. The classes are to design to
teach your dogs better "people skills" when greeting other people & animals, to help with any housebreaking
issues, and to help with and annoying or destructive behavior. For more information on our obedience please go to the Obedience
page.
Agility
Classes What is agility? Agility is where a dog runs through an obstacle course. Almost all dogs, big and small, enjoy agility. This sport
is based on activities that are natural to dogs - running, jumping, going through things such as tunnels, etc. It is the kind
of activity that dogs recognize as part of their "heritage". The fact that their owner participates as well makes
it even better!
